Hello,

Capital One placed a bank levy against my checking account this past November. I was just curious as to how long does it last. I was advised to just stop any monies going into the account and pay bills via money grams, money orders... etc. My general question is should I just close the account and open up another one? If I do that, could Capital One somehow track that account down and garnish it too? I am so dumbfounded about this... please help! Rozzie

Hello r:

Until the debt is paid, they'll track you down again.

It stays there till the debt is paid, no you can't even close the account normally.

If you open a new accouint, there is a note on your credit report that they checked ( and/or they check the records for bad checks) and the lendor will find you very easily.
